Vontae Davis made an embarrassing flub on national television, one that would have left most red-faced. Somehow, he misspoke and referred to Peyton Manning as Tom Brady in an NBC interview after the Colts' huge win over the Broncos on Sunday night.

That's the same Manning whose face had been plastered all over this and other newspapers and sports programs for a solid week ahead of his rematch with his former team. Millions of viewers likely reacted with shock. And Davis' teammates were merciless, making him the butt of a steady stream of jokes in the locker room immediately afterward.
